Very nice! I don't usually use the virtual keyboard (or the N900 in Portrait mode) but still a lot of people have been asking for this.
Maybe with some adjustments to the graphics this can be adjusted to display bigger buttons on the needed parts.
Is it even possible to work on the Nokia already included keyboard and change it somehow or is it a closed component ? Even the graphics...?

f2thak, rotate.py's quite old, yes, but the only other place I've seen the portrait keyboard hack is in MohammadAG's PR1.2 SDK thread. (The topic is also now dead, and the keyboard image since removed.)
Correct me if I'm wrong.
nosa101, Yes, I just made it today.

Tried it and seems ok with me! A little bit more and i'll get used to it. Good thing I have a past experience with an eseries device with small qwerty keyboard. And also good thing this good old n900 isn't a capacitive screen else this would be impossible to use. Also isn' this python script a battery hog? Cause if i would regularly use this then this script should open 18hours a day.

one question will it be possible to run this script on startup? and how much battery will it consume?

Could something like matchbox-keyboard, ukeyboard, xkbd or xvkbd from the N800 be used for any advantage and have a Portrait Keyboard (skinning the keyboard to look good should be the easy part I believe) or it's just easier to try and resize the elements and rotate like the method found ?
New video with sound:

The video says all:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZeERqY9vFw
(To create rotate.py on the N900, download Leafpad, copy and paste the script in, and save as rotate.py )
Please note: Forcing the N900 to rotate can cause stability issues that lead to a reboot. Please be careful when using this script.
This is in no way a day-to-day usable keyboard, it's only a proof of concept.
Also, I claim no ownership of either discovery, just the result of putting the two together.
